I really like the great American painter of anthropomorphic bears -
William Beard (1824-1900).
I vaguely remember these painting from early childhood, well really just Bear Dance . I'm not sure if I ever really saw it or if instead Beard really tapped into the childhood desire to see teddy bears come to life when our backs are turned and just made them full on bears- taking it a step up. Auction House Records is hilarious too! Makes me want to be Alice and argue with a frog or rabbit.
